Boogie Wipes Review and Giveaway (CLOSED)
I am honored to announce my very first review and giveaway for MommyBurgh!!!
I am constantly on the look-out for more efficient ways to do things with my baby. From having a diaper bag with straps that hang from my stroller to a wet bag that holds in our stinky diapers with no problem. Well another major problem that I noticed early on in motherhood is the fact that babies drool... a lot. And have boogies... a ton of them. And that other stuff, you know, the stuff that is neither drool or boogies. At first I would use anything that was handy in order to wipe off all of those boogies and spit-up coming out of my baby, a burp cloth or even my shirt sleeve. As much as I love walking around with drool covering my shirt, I needed to find a solution.
Kirsten was very much a drooling, spit-up kind of baby. She also has rolls, lots of them. When she was only a few weeks old I noticed this stench coming from her 3 chins! I soon discovered that it was from formula that would get trapped under her chin when she would spit-up or drool it out while feeding. I couldn't carry around a wash cloth where ever we went, and of course using regular baby wipes was not an option (hello! alcohol!), so I took to the internet to find my solution.
My solution was Boogie Wipes. I checked out their website and just knew that these were going to be the answer to our problems. I hurried out to BabiesRUs and bought a few packages of them. When I returned home with my packages of wipes I was so excited to show my husband my fantastic find. "But they are just wipes right?" he said to me. "No! They are so much more! They not only clean up boogies, but they can be used on her face too!" I replied. He seemed skeptical, but I wasn't going to allow that to stop me from being so excited about these wipes.
As luck would have it, and a dash of irony, Kirsten got a cold that very week. Boogies everywhere. Sneezing constantly. And just an all around mess. I used baby q-tips to get the boogies out of her nose, but they can only do so much and go so far up her nose! And the boogies just kept coming! I think we went through 500 q-tips in a day! I immediately gave up on the q-tips and turned to my new package of Boogie Wipes.
These wipes helped us out so much when Kirsten had her cold. She had such a hard time breathing and they really cleaned up the boogies in and around her nose. Obviously using a regular tissue on a baby will cause their little nose to go raw (you know what I mean... I hate having a cold for this very reason). As I said before, the q-tips just were not working out for us either. I tried nose nasal aspirators that they use in the hospital, but it never sucked the boogies out! I tried two different brands with no luck. Boogie Wipes were my only friend!
I never hesitated to grab a Boogie Wipe and clean off Kirsten's face, under her chins, or her hands. She is certainly going through one of those phases where her hands are in her mouth 24/7, so it is very important to me that she has very clean hands! And now my husband is convinced that it is a great product and uses them all the time!
When I was still pregnant I took advantage of a super sale and bought tons of hand sanitizer. I thought, "we will need these because so many people will want to hold the baby!" Well I really changed my mind when I realized that the chemicals in many hand sanitizers are very unsafe for babies! So yet another use for our Boogie Wipes, I use them on my hands all the time! They get baby diaper rash cream off too! (We have all been there... you are out and about, slather on the diaper cream, and stand there thinking "now what??")
Lets talk about how the product works. Well if you use disposable baby wipes to clean your little one's bottom, then you are already a pro at using Boogie Wipes! They come in a very convenient package that looks just like disposable wipes and have a snap on top so that they don't dry out. They fit very well in any diaper bag! I have enough room for my Boogie Wipes, diapers, and my other wipes for Kirsten's bottom! It makes it very easy to grab them in a boogie emergency! You can also purchase individually packaged wipes. They are very small and can fit in pockets or purses!
I have been so excited about this product that I wanted to share it with all of my amazing readers and friends! I immediately contacted Boogie Wipes on Twitter and began showering them with compliments and telling them about the many ways I use my Boogie Wipes!
I then emailed the company and they immediately replied telling me they would love for me to do a review and giveaway! I was so excited! They sent me over a box filled with some goodies too!
Until I got my package from Boogie Wipes, I was only using one scent of the product. I used the unscented wipes because I was concerned about the scented being too much for Kirsten's skin. She had very dry skin when she was only a few weeks old, so I have always been careful about what I use on her face. In the box were samples of all of their scents. I figured I could use the scented ones on her hands, but in a pinch, needed to use them on her face. There was no reaction! Just a very fresh and fun smell! Other scents available are Great Grape, Magic Menthol, Fresh Scent and Unscented. I really liked all of the scents. I can imagine that Great Grape would go over very well with an older child too!

I love the mentho and original scents... but if I won, I'd need the unscented ones :( My son is allergic to fragrants. But I love boogie wipes and I always use them after feeding him solids. He's a little piggy!

Definitely would want the grape scent.
In addition to boogies, they are great for sticky hands.
